I've been to Bangkok several times for holidays. Mostly stayed in hotels downtown.
This time I booked Abe and Jessica's condo via Airbnb, and it was a fantastic choice.
First of all, its location is perfect.
It is located just a few steps away from Ari BTS station. Therefore, it is so easy to go all the touristic sites if you take BTS.
I personally preferred to stay in Ari neighbourhood, having been to all the busy areas before. Ari neighbourhood was very attractive to me.
There are lots of nice restaurants and cafes. I had a perfect cup of coffee at Casa Lapin near the station. I went for a coffee everyday.
Other cafes are also doing coffee well, and you can find yummy cakes, scones and crepes easily.
In addition, you and enjoy the wet market on your way to condo from the station. It's always fun to buy fruits and snacks in the local markets.
Second, the place you'll be staying is clean and convenient.
It's spacious, perfectly-equipped and well-maintained. The king-sized bed in the bedroom was so comfortable, so I felt like I was sleeping on my own bed home.
Abe and Jessica decorated their condo with taste and thoughts for guests. Everything was so handy and comfortable.
And lastly, you would meet welcoming and caring hosts.
You know, sometimes I happen to meet some hosts who only care about money and their estates. Starting holiday with meeting nice people makes the whole journey more enjoyable.
I guess this review is the longest of all mines.
To make it short, it was just perfect stay for me to have a relaxing holiday in Bangkok. I hope to go back anytime next year.
